america's media as judge and jury the news outlets jeopardising justice by sentencing suspects before they even been to a courtroom. egypt's demonstration deja vu protesters are back in the square angry at snow reforms and corruption results rising. and reports of widespread deaths and devastation from last night's down but in a new civil government disguises it was on this fine without incident. and online you're watching r t welcome to the program being proved innocent in courts

can pay into insignificance in america especially when a guilty verdict is already at large in the media single mother casey anthony was cleared of murdering her two year old daughter this week but it's done nothing to sway public opinion that's been spurred on by t.v. in newspapers in a situation reports. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system illegally often shoved aside from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subject being shot down in the street and an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty shots laying on our. stomach in our back as we run or as we walk or flee to breeding suspects into offenses in cases of entrapment entrapment is not legal entrapment is getting someone to do something that they would normally do to perp walks that parade

suspects in handcuffs for the world to see. to a media frenzy devouring some cases and not others i finally did before i see it as guilty until proven guilty in these cases government is changing the laws sam and is a former white collar convict who knows the criminal justice system discrepancies inside and out i read while on the road to yours. carbery not my crimes when i decided to cooperate with the head it took two more years. now teacher he says media coverage also affects the jury pool they see the image of a guy in handcuffs and see an image of a person being arrested they see the image of a person doing the perp walk and warfare just like everybody else. so are you presumed guilty from the get go and how much of a role does the media play if you're accused of a penis crime it's going to be

a huge headlines on page one when you're exonerated it's on page twenty seven below the fold to column inches and your neighbors somehow didn't manage to catch it that day so everyone still thinks you're a child molester take the not guilty verdict in the casey anthony murder case involving her two year old daughter the court of public opinion remains split from the court of justice all thanks to nonstop media coverage of the case for the past three years. it's crazy and i think it's made me happy and i did it with from the media is going to go to in the case of former i.m.f. head dominique strauss kahn the media satisfied their gluttonous taste with extreme passion only for the case to crumble i think there should be all. media outlets are required to play your exoneration up as big and as long as your accusation this is rarely the case as dubious practices in the criminal justice system spread so does the finger pointing and questioning the future of human rights in the us which is

we call in as americans i'm sitting one years old and i'm like oh. this is getting now going this is really good now we the principles that the us once prided itself in our inner fire suspects are having to fight their battles publicly the minute they are arrested and attempts to prove their innocence underlining the discrepancies in the u.s. criminal justice system are alive and kicking the citron out party in iraq. where the march towards a reborn egypt has slowed to a crawl how the interim leaders have been sent the strongest message yet but they're not doing enough tens of thousands turning out the biggest protests in months and it's traitors filth where hiring gathered in other cities angry that means government is dragging its heels on reforms demanded and they toppled president barack gyptian is also frustrated that the sluggish pace of prosecuting senior officials police officers who are accused who tell it to him and he's

a rising to them mubarak's shadow still looms knowledge rationalisations professor and says the revolution here brought trouble change. the expectations that the fall of mubarak could be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about because barak and his family and closest cronies have been imprisoned or accused will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people and against the interests of country but of course field marshal tantawi and the other members of the military ruling council were his appointees to a great extent across egypt people don't see that their local boss the local head of the biggest ration has changed so there's a sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power ironically one of the big reasons for the revolution people's economic discontent social this contentious it was a share of unemployment and so on actually the process of getting rid of

a barak has made in the short term the economy worse but i do think really there's an easy answer to egypt's economic problems because global oil prices global food prices and so on are rising and egypt is essentially a importer. well in a few minutes on the program george's cloak and dagger conundrum sockets recent spate of spies at every turn now targeting high profile photographers best we ask whether the snipers are really snooping. around in it too with it india's enterprising youth telling small business is big profits. the billionaire owner of britain's best selling newspaper is due to arrive in london to do the fallout of the phone hacking scandal at the news of the world rupert murdoch is closing the one hundred sixty eight year old paper its last edition on sunday. tabloids former editor andy cools it was released on bail he was

suspicions. i have been. i still spy with my little lie george is continuing its for of encounter espionage campaign and this time around the people in the spotlight are those who usually stay behind the scenes for photo journalists have been detained including the president's personal photographer and employees of the associated press and the european press agency the a.p. photographer was later released without charge but the other three remain in custody. either misapply but i have met with my client he's got injuries to his face at the moment he still hasn't been charged with anything and we waiting on the prosecutors to file the case and to question and formally charge my clients. so for a georgian authorities haven't specified exactly who they believe these journalists were spying for their previous spying allegations however have mostly been aimed at

russia for soccer shruti writes novels the continuation of war and the russian. this is the main basis for. the most opposed and mineralogy is the way the law and he cared. a power because the second player which we were in and into solving and settling he's going to own his term and a lot of theoretical explanation for a number of your partners why i joined your so-called democratic contrary why. in the power and do you always mention abundance of. independence of georgia and he not but he he is partly against. russian agents or since. the recent hysteria began with yet another alleged spy story last year thirteen people were detained and accused of being spies on russia's payroll

earlier this week nine of them were found guilty and sentenced to. between eleven and fourteen years behind bars but what lies behind this frenzied espionage clampdown. the judges are so quick to stick a spy label on to anyone i guess is just a level of democracy and that has been noticed not just by russia but by various key international organizations like the un. even so it seems international disbelief and numerous arrests and convictions are not enough to put the paranoia of georgian officials to rest georgia's interior minister claims that there are more alleged spies out there and that he knows exactly who they are where they are and what they're doing the wall of social the b.b.c. haoles these efforts many seem to be of the opinion that it's just plain wishful thinking. katharine's r r t. well still to come join annoyed and

that plays out you know that that's how that plays out the reporting is should be a woman's instinct at what point does it cross over to consider just for attention . yeah it's a it's a tough line between those two people we're just two people it's impossible i think women should not get in situations i think there are lots of times that we put ourselves in situations and we have a messenger insiders that says get out of there and sometimes we don't listen to that message. says says no or she says no it's a no no is it the same for women as for man one hundred percent. so why do we treat it more as a woman session because it happens more often to women. but men have a pride to do also. about money rich get richer the poor get poorer. so is this just another way for women to get rich. so do you think it's fair that the law generally tends to side with women. i think it's impossible to really say

what's fair what's not at this point again like ari ari the is of what's fair changed so much i think in general my inclination is to say yes it is because women have for the most part of been the victims for so many years that you almost have to side more with them in order to make it equal it's like affirmative action in a way like you have to do something to make things better so that they're not always the victims no matter how you feel about the lines of sexual assault the bottom line is that the rule no means no will always be a good one to follow. well that is more of new york sports online at r.t. dot com let's see what else is there a future there's anger at israel for stopping activists latest efforts to get aid to propane. some two hundred people wanted to board solve.

this by in space as a canadian company plans to put the camera to be international space station. much zoom in. the city for the country next in russia close up. its way traveling two thousand kilometers east of moscow the call girl region in southern siberia it's one of the many areas where entire villages are becoming ghost towns as young people move to the cities and the older generation get fewer in them but there's one place where the residents have a good reason to stay like i went to find out what it is. here we are in the village of castor. grande region and for the past ten or fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here is the reason why. it's monday morning

and alexander a former prison guard is it work testing the incoming employees for alcohol. if they're over the limit there is a choice to be cited for a no show and lose thirty percent of them on salary my job three kilometers and be docked ten percent of that monster wage. those that we do the testing every morning regardless of gender or position within the company people know they could be caught but they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink during a working week. inforced alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander able to cough is the director of the still such plan and likes to extend his influence as far as possible a man of big ideas he had the very epitome of micromanagement for the past fifteen years he's been preaching to his employees how to make good sausages and how to

live a good life. quality is a must it's the quality of the product they gave you this job in the first place and it's the quality that determines whether you'll keep it after firing dozens of workers for showing up drunk at work or xander started laughter in his employees on the harms of all the whole three times a day during with breaks. the holy roman emperor charlemagne said that those could drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time should be beaten in public. time should be hanged as a former boxer he's not shy about exercising his rule with an r in face and has built his version of the iron curtain around his plan with dozens of video cameras around the facility employees have no chance to circumvent the law of big brother on the off side thefts and no longer the issue. with their rules are very rigid and most people find it hard to comply but those who don't play by alexander's rules

don't work here. alexander's drive to set the rules of the game doesn't and within his plan the only corporate taxpayer in the village of four thousand people he's taking on a very wide notion of social responsibility using the plants profits he paved only local roads renovated the school and built the church and while he agrees that modesty is a virtue of his fondness of giving guidance and advice is evident wherever he goes in you are doesn't matter that you come from a village what matters most is to get a good education thank god we've got good teachers and behave well in school is that clear. but this approach has divided villagers the majority believe alexander is a blessing from a minority and primarily those who he's fired on not as impressed. as the old saying goes one man's meat is another man's poison not everybody in this village appreciates alexander philosophy but he did not succeed in spreading it around some

people call him a control freak others to resort to more agricultural language his opponents also include some local officials who believe that alexander has too much power that infringes on their own authority the bill xander accuses them of not doing enough for the people when i ask him whether he'd like to run for office he's a response was a resounding no but you're blessed i think the whole purpose of power is to create to make life around you better and in this regard i have all the power that i need as for the iron fist i think every successful activity requires discipline strict discipline and it starts with me instead of waiting for somebody to come and do something i do it myself i may offend other people but sooner or later they'll understand that i was doing it for the wrong good. many historians make the case that russians prefer authoritarian leaders and tackling the deep problems of alcohol addiction and rural isolation need street discipline and total control good
